not able to extract attribute from xml in groovy script - groovy

Question

I am trying to automate using groovy script. Here is my script. I am not able to mention namspace.
<ns2:contactPref xmlns="namespace 1" xmlns:ns2="name space 2">
<ns2:Information>
<value>Pass</value>
</ns2:Information>
<ns2:contactPreference>
<ns2:contactPointRel>
<contactPoint xs:type="Tele" xmlns:xs="namespace 3">
<cat>mob</cat>
<med>Int</med>
</contactPoint>
</ns2:contactPointRel>
</ns2:contactPreference>
</ns2:contactPref>
Now I want to fetch attribute at contactPoint tag
for this I have tried like this
groovyUtils=new com.eviware.soapui.support.Groovyutills(context)
def xPath=XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath()
def type=context.expand('${GetResponse#Response#//*:contactPoint/#xs:type}')
log.info type
tried this
def type=context.expand('${GetResponse#Response#//*:contactPoint/#type}')
and I also tried this
def resp=groovyUtils.getXmlHolder("GetResponse#Response")
def type1=(String)xPath.evaluate('//:contactpoint/#xs:type',resp,xPathConstants.STRING)
but no help. please some one tell me how to do this??

Answer 1

try using this it should work
#{namespace 3}type
if you see xs:type="Tele" xmlns:xs="namespace 3" in contactPoint then xs which has value namespace 3 and {type} is Tele
Edited - You could use something like this - with xmlString as XML
def xml = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xmlString)
println
xml.contactPreference.contactPointRel.contactPoint."#{namespace
3}type"
